<span style="color: #000000; font-family: ComicSansMS,cursive; text-decoration: none;">I have always loved dogs and when i grow up i’m thinking about being a vet, because i would like to help those puppies, and another animals that are sick, and being a vet is the best thing i could think of, that can help those animals. When i went to my families friends house they had a huge Newfoundland and i was just so amazed at his size and how he could could move quickly in the waters. I wanted to get to know the Newfoundland better, so i decided to research it. I am still really happy with my choice because i learned a lot about the Newfoundland, like were it originated from, Newfoundland, Canada. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: ComicSansMS,cursive; text-decoration: none;">I collected a lot of information. The types of information i collected were like, where the Newfoundland originated from, how big it will get, where they should live, what kind of climate should they live in, what type of class there in for dogs (working, stay at home, etc.) and so on. This information was pretty easy to find, every website i clicked on gave me new information, and it didn't take me more than five minutes to find another website with new information <span style="color: #000000; font-family: ComicSansMS,cursive; text-decoration: none;">I used my strength with computers, and writing short paragraphs. With the brochure I made, I used a template on Page's but made it my own, and wrote three short paragraphs that explained what the brochure is for, and added pictures and edited pictures with the knowledge i have with computers. A skill i discovered was making birth certificates and greeting cards. For my project i decided to make a birth certificate and a greeting card, and from the looks of it they came out really well done. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: ComicSansMS,cursive; text-decoration: none;">My organization was chronological order, i started with the birth certificate because that signifies birth. Then i used the greeting card to state i'm welcoming you into this project or i am sharing the information i gained with you. Next i went with the brochure to give for incite for my topic and to show the reader or student what there getting into. The list which came after the brochure talked about a working Newfoundland, so i found it convenient to put it before a video crot that is going to talk about the Newfoundland's job, and muscles. Lastly I added in a chart that gave a little less information so it didn't leave the reader think about a huge piece of information. ||
